We are proud to announce that we have been awarded the Women-owned Small Business (WOSB) certification by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). This certification helps small businesses owned, operated and controlled by women to compete for federal contracts. The federal government’s goal is to award at least 5% of all federal contracting dollars to women-owned small businesses each year. #womenownedsmallbusiness #diversifytech #datacentersolutions #womenindatacenters #datacenterproducts #womanowned

Get started **WBE and MBE certifications** are designed to help businesses owned by women and minorities gain access to government contracts and other opportunities. Here are some key points: 1. **WBE (Women-Owned Business Enterprise)**: This certification is for businesses that are at least 51% owned, controlled, and operated by one or more women. It helps these businesses compete for federal contracts and other opportunities specifically set aside for women-owned businesses. 2. **MBE (Minority-Owned Business Enterprise)**: This certification is for businesses that are at least 51% owned, controlled, and operated by one or more individuals from a recognized minority group. This includes African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, and others. 3. **SAM (System for Award Management)**: This is the official U.S. government system that consolidates various procurement systems and processes. Businesses must register in SAM to be eligible for federal contracts. 4. **Benefits**: Both WBE and MBE certifications can provide significant advantages, including access to exclusive contracts, networking opportunities, and resources to help grow and sustain the business. If you need more specific information or assistance with the certification process, feel free to ask! Are you looking to certify a business or just gathering information?
